In Italy, Elevion Group and AB signed a framework agreement for the construction and maintenance of five biogas to biomethane upgrading plants in Veneto, Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy. The project is expected to have a significant environmental impact, with an estimated saving of 50,000 tons of CO₂ equivalent per year.
Biomethane is a renewable energy source that is increasingly central to the Italian energy transition, also in terms of European strategic autonomy. According to the Italian Biogas Consortium (Cib), national production currently stands at around 750 million Smc/year, with the aim of reaching 1.8 billion thanks to the PNRR and arriving at 5 billion Smc by 2030, 80% from agricultural sources.
The agreement between AB and Elevion Group represents one of the most significant Italian collaborations in the sector, and includes five plants (three of 350 Smc/h, one of 450 Smc/h and one of 900 Smc/h), all equipped with AB Biochange technology, a high selectivity membrane upgrading system. Each plant will be equipped with accessory systems for the complete treatment and injection of biomethane into the national grid. The activities will include engineering, commissioning and full-service maintenance.
